Social media usage continues to grow rapidly and is now an integral part of daily life for many people globally. Mobile access to social media, through smartphones and tablets, has been a major driver of growth. Consumers are spending more time on social networks than any other type of website. While Facebook and Twitter remain the most popular overall, Pinterest saw the largest increase in unique users and time spent of any social network over the past year. Social media is also transforming how people engage with television by enabling real-time discussions about shows. Many consumers now use social networks as their preferred channel for customer service issues rather than calling brands directly.

SCREEN WARS: THE BATTLE FOR EYE SPACE IN A TV-EVERYWHERE WORLDAidelisa Gutierrez
While media fragmentation is happening across all formats, the “Screen Wars” report focuses on video programming, which we define as any type of content, such as TV, cable shows, professional video or user-generated content, that is watched on your TV, PC, mobile phone, tablet or e-reader device. The Nielsen Global Digital Landscape Survey polled 30,000 online respondents in 60 countries to understand how the changing digital landscape is affecting how, where and why we watch video programming. We also examine consumption preferences for video programming, including the devices most commonly used for selected genres and the devices used to view video at home and on the go.

State of the Media: Social Media Report Q3
Social media's popularity continues to grow, connecting people with just about everything they watch and buy.
The latest Nielsen insights provide some answers on exactly how powerful this influence is on consumer behavior, both online and off.
The value of the time consumers spend online and on social networks and blogs continues to grow, most visible through the influence on purchase decisions. For instance, 60 percent of people who use three or more digital means of research for product purchases learned about a specific brand or retailer from a social networking site.
As the influence of social media – and those using social media – continues to grow, it’s crucial for traditional media, retailers, brands and advertisers to understand how different consumer segments use and share content. Nielsen’s “State of the Media: The Social Media Report – Q3 2011” presents a snapshot of the current social media landscape and audiences in the U.S. and other major markets.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

SOCIAL MEDIA IS COMING OF AGE
Social media and social networking are no longer in their infancy. Since the emergence of the first social
media networks some two decades ago, social media has continued to evolve and offer consumers
around the world new and meaningful ways to engage with the people, events, and brands that matter
to them. Now years later, social media is still growing rapidly and has become an integral part of our
daily lives. Today, social networking is truly a global phenomenon.
What’s driving the continued growth of social media?
MOBILE
More people are using smartphones andtabletsto access social media. The personal computer is still
at the center of the social networking experience, but consumers are increasingly looking to other
devices to connect on social media. Time spent on mobile apps and the mobile web account for 63
percent of the year-over-year growth in overall time spent using social media. Forty-six percent of
social media users say they use their smartphone to access social media; 16 percent say they connect
to social media using a tablet. With more connectivity, consumers have more freedom to use social
media wherever and whenever they want.
PROLIFERATION
New social media sites continueto emerge and catchon. The number of social media networks
consumers can choose from has exploded, and too many sites to count are adding social features or
integration. While Facebook and Twitter continue to be among the most popular social networks,
Pinterest emerged as one of the breakout stars in social media for 2012, boasting the largest
year-over-year increase in both unique audience and time spent of any social network across PC,
mobile web, and apps.
How is consumer usage of social media evolving?
THE GLOBAL LIVING ROOM
SocialTV isonthe rise. The skyrocketing adoption and use of social media among consumers is
transforming TV-watching into a more immediate and shared experience. As of June 2012, more than
33 percent of Twitter users had actively tweeted about TV-related content. Some 44 percent of U.S.
tablet owners and 38 percent of U.S. smartphone owners use their devices daily to access social media
while watching television. In the Latin America region, more than 50 percent of consumers say they
interact with social media while watching TV; in the Middle East / Africa region, more than 60 percent
do. From global events like the Summer Olympics, to regional events like the Presidential debates in
the U.S., consumers around the world used social media to engage with everyone from close friends to
complete strangers, revolutionizing the television viewing experience.
SOCIAL CARE
SocialCare is transforming customer service. Social media has emerged as an important channel
for customer service, with nearly half of U.S. consumers reaching out directly to brands and service
providers to voice their satisfaction or complaints, or simply to ask questions. In fact, one in three social
media users say they prefer to use social media rather than the phone for customer service issues.
How is social media impacting marketing?
SOCIAL WORD-OF-MOUTH
Social media enables consumerstogenerate andtap intotheopinionsof an exponentially larger
universe. While word-of-mouth has always been important, its scope was previously limited to the
people you knew and interacted with on a daily basis. Social media has removed that limitation and
given new power to consumers.
HYPER-INFORMED CONSUMERS
Social media istransformingthewaythat consumers acrosstheglobe make purchasedecisions.
Consumers around the world are using social media to learn about other consumers’ experiences, find
more information about brands, products and services, and to find deals and purchase incentives.
OPPORTUNITY FOR ENGAGEMENT
Consumer attitudestoward advertisingon social media are still evolving. Though roughly one-third
of social media users find ads on social networking sites more annoying than other types of Internet
advertisements, research suggest that there are opportunities for marketers to engage with consumers
via social media. More than a quarter of social media users say they are more likely to pay attention to
an ad shared by one of their social connections. Additionally, more than a quarter of consumers are ok
with seeing ads on social networking sites tailored to them based on their profile information.
Nielsen and NM Incite’s 2012 Social Media Report provides some insight into what is driving our
collective, global obsession with social media. In the following pages, you’ll get a more detailed
snapshot of what is helping to power the continued growth of social networking around the world,
how consumers’ social media behavior is evolving, and how these changes impact the way brands and
consumers engage through social networks.
